The Reel
Get ready to do some serious fishing! The Shimano Talica 50 II 2-Speed Game Reel is designed using the latest in overhead reel technology. So whether it's soaking baits over deep reefs, deploying live baits or trolling lures in the deep blue waters around the coast the Shimano Talica 50 II Game Reel is ready to take on any challenge.

The Shimano Talica 50 II 2-Speed Game Reel has a one-piece cold forged (for extreme strength) and machined Aluminium frame that's treated with a proprietary surface process for cutting-edge corrosion protection. Shimano then added a lightweight cold forged aluminium spool, oversized HEG (High Efficiency Gearing) gears, waterproof carbon drag system and 6 S-ARB bearings for super slick operation. The Talica has been constructed to withstand massive drag pressures for their respective sizes and a carbon drag system has been waterproofed (when engaged) to handle salt water spray. Plus, its High Efficiency Gearing means that it has the power to fight fish well above its weight class.

The Shimano Talica is built on solid engineering principles that put this reel in a league of its own. This series offers a high-speed retrieve that you can use for jigging up brutal Kingfish from offshore structures where speed can make all the difference or use it to target Marlin and Tuna trolling lures or pitching out a bait to a fired up pelagic.

The Rod
Shimano's latest range of blue water-centric rods is built on ultra-tough Shimano T45 graphite blanks and fitted with top-quality Fuji SiC/SiN II guides and Aftco/Fuji reel seats. The all-new Shimano Abyss SW R/T Bent + Straight Butt Game Rod is a dynamic, lightweight yet very strong tamer of powerful blue water species like Kingfish, Bass, Hapuku, Tuna, Billfish and the mighty Broadbill Swordfish. It's engineered not only to look awesome from the tip to the butt section but also completes MSL tests of well over specified line ratings at 45 degrees and 60 degrees respectively. And not only that, it's built tough enough to handle the rigours of day-to-day charter work. Get ready to do some serious fishing!
